Abstract:
A numerical model is developed for simulation of the propagation of a light bullet in LiF crystal and the formation of a colored track. The model reproduces the previously observed longitudinal oscillations in the concentration of color centers in the track and oscillations in the track width. For the first time, the phase shift between these oscillations is numerically reproduced.

Keywords:
light bullet, filamentation, color center, LiF, FDTD.
